Prambanan Temple

Southeast Asia's largest Hindu temple group - Planbanan, magnificent, each tower is engraved with lifelike stories and legends, in the sunset, it seems more mysterious and brilliant, is also a great time to take pictures, it is worth a visit.

Borobudur Temple

The scenic spot is very orderly, the English explanation is clear, there is no Chinese explanation guide for the time being, Buddhists are worth visiting the ancient pagoda of Borofutu in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. It is very spectacular and shocking. It is difficult to imagine how such a vast and complicated Buddhist building was built in ancient times. It is a worthwhile trip.

Ramayana Ballet Purawisata - Jogja

今天也开心🤪
It was my first time watching such a performance, and I loved it!!! The plot was familiar to me because I had learned it when I was in school, and the actors' performances were also wonderful! There were some "breaking the fourth wall" interactions from time to time, I loved it! I took a photo with the leading actors after the performance hehehe (What made me a little distracted was that I felt that the actor who played Rama was too thin🤣 He was too thin and weak, and it seemed that he couldn't protect Sita, and it was not easy for him to perform that kind of decent momentum (Dan still acted well!))

Surabaya Zoo

To Surabaya, the zoo is worth going. Close to the city center, the tickets are cheap, more than RMB 7, there are many types of animals, and there are many characteristics: Komodo dragons, large, medium and small three places. The number is beyond imagination. Long-nosed monkeys, lively and cute, entertaining themselves. There is a dining area in the park and it is convenient. The local people are also very friendly. In short, it is really cost-effective to see Indonesia's national treasures and special animals up close. There is a time to arrange for half a day to play.

This Heroes Monument is a main symbol of Surabaya which is dedicated to the Indonesian heroes who died during the battle of Surabaya on 10.Nov 1945. This monument is a pillar with a height of 41.15 meters. There is a November 10 museum in the lower part that exhibits artifacts during the war such as rifles, pistols and others. There is also a narration of the history of the war here. Various souvenirs can be found here before going out.

Keraton Ngayogyakarta Hadiningrat

The Sultan's Palace in Yogyakarta still houses the original royal family, servants and staff, all dressed in ancient clothes. The palace is located at the end of Mario Polo Street, and it will be there soon after the shopping by electric tricycle. The palace is not very large in scale, the building has Java tradition, there are also European style, and you can also see the shadow of Islamic architectural characteristics. The main point is the ancient Kameilan musical instruments. It is said that one set is the relics of the Maju Bashi Dynasty, and the other is from the Tammu Kingdom. There is a monument donated by overseas Chinese in the palace. Opened at 8:30 in the morning, an old gentleman at the ticket office served the palace for decades, received many Chinese tourists, chatted with him, and knew some information. The tickets are a package ticket, including tickets like tickets, which are quite 8RMB. About an hour is enough to visit, from another gate exit, you can walk or take another tricycle to the water palace.
